A recently developed technique known as analogue transformation acoustics has
allowed the extension of the transformational paradigm to general spacetime
transformations under which the acoustic equations are not form ...
Transformation optics has shaped up a revolutionary electromagnetic design paradigm, enabling scientists
to build astonishing devices such as invisibility cloaks. Unfortunately, the application of transformation
techniques ...
We analyze the properties of acoustic and electromagnetic metamaterials with anisotropic constitutive parameters.
Particularly, we analyze the so-called Radial Wave Crystals, which are radially periodic structures verifying ...
